I am no longer fixin' subs

Happy Retirement! 

Did 29 years and 21 days for my rich Uncle...  (I just HAD to get that tenth hash-mark, so went out on Terminal Leave)

And you WILL miss it... I sure do, anyway... Sometimes I feel like a deserter, like when my brigade deployed again, and did it without me...  I thought about getting another career, maybe at Aberdeen or Ft Sill, but the wheelchair I was stuck in for 3 and a half years put the kabosh on that...

But being a Bail-Enforcement Agent isn't a bad career-choice for a retired NCO.. Only work when I want to, but it's "Feast and Famine" for paydays though...   Maybe I need to get the wife and kids licensed, buy a couple black Suburbans,  get the wife a boob-job, and, *POOF*... A Reality TV show will happen...

Anyway, congrats again, and thanks, Brother Vet..

You are to be commended for your service ,both in and out of uniform.THANK YOU!! Now,be an R.C. subfixer hmmm.     TANKER-builder(TARGET to you)

Many thanks, friends. You guys are the best!

Even though I won't be working on any more carriers or submarine reactors, I will still be able to see the ships when I want to. And I am sure that I will want to see them.  My favorites have always been the non-nuke ships like destroyers and amphibs that are here, too. After specializing in nuclear propulsion, I didn't get to board them as often as I would have liked. But now that I am retired, I will be able to visit my boys' and daughters-in-law's ships more and get my fix that way.

Good for you,Congrats  

Well, that's why they hired us!

The area is coming up in the world. Great food, good music, excellent land for housing as the bay views are tremendous.

There won't be a 49ers Stadium, another project my brilliant wife has earned, but there will be a lot of nice open parks, and I get to go see the re-gunning crane and docks.

Good for you and a job well done i'm sure .

Hunters Point ...i remember that place .........

Congrats on poppin' smoke after all those years  It looks like there are plenty of new 1/350 subs out there needing fixing if that is not too much like work for you I am still trying to decide on wether to get either of the new Riich or Hobbyboss 688i's myself... Yes you will miss it. I just passed the 5 years retired mark almost two months back and feel pangs every now and again.

Congrats on a long and important career and service to our country, Lee!

Congrats!  Thank you for your service fixing those subs real good for our sailors.  Enjoy your retirement as long as you say away from the Dark side...

Thanks for the many years of service. Enjoy your retirement, you deserve it.

Rob thanks too, I must have missed yours somewhere.

Congrats, and thank you, Subfixer!  Now you can spend your time building sub  models instead of fixing real ones!

Thanks a lot for the well wishes, guys. I have a modest stash, only around 15 or so, but they will occupy me for a bit. My biggest project is going to be to refurbish an old sailboat  to at least presentable standards. It's seaworthy but worn. The best thing about it is that it doesn't need any gas! It gets its power from a big fusion reactor in the sky. I love nuke boats.

Hey bondo! Good luck with Hunter's Point, clear out that neighborhood surrounding it first, it's a bit sporty there. Also, if I had destroyed that bridge, you'd have been cutoff from Oakland. Think about that.

Congratulations Lee, you deserve it my friend!

I will never be able to retire unfortunately.

Congratulations and thanks for your long years of service.

Wish the best for your retirement.  More modeling time, right?

Fair winds and following seas.

After a total of forty years combined military and civil service with the United States Navy, I have retired. I feel very privileged to have been able to serve for so long. I will miss it, I am sure, but am looking forward to my loooonnngg weekend.

Speaking of retired, we just started work on the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard project. That'll hopefully be MY retirement project. &50 acres, 10 years

Grats, retired myself after 28 years of military service. Enjoy yourself.

Congratulations on your retirement and thank you for your many years of service to our country.

Congratulations on your retirement.  How many models are on your bench now?
